Milestone reveals Screamer gameplay in close head-to-head duel

Milestone today revealed the gameplay (and gorgeous anime-style graphics) of its new arcade racer Screamer, showing us a duel with one of our rivals in the game. The Milan-based studio "promises to revolutionize arcade action through innovative gameplay intertwined with a deep and engaging story."

Here are some details about the game, followed by the new trailer. Enjoy the viewing!

Neo Rey, a futuristic city inspired by anime universes, is the stage for intense street battles between the Screamers, fearless racers who unleash their rivalries in the most brutal showdown ever. In this world, some run for glory, others for power or revenge. A mysterious technology changed racing forever: the ECHO. Thanks to it, every race is a struggle and every battle is personal and brutal. Thanks to a series of cutting-edge mechanics, players will experience the fate of each character in no-holds-barred clashes, in which speed alone will not be enough to survive.

One of Screamer's key innovations is the vehicle's unique management system, which applies a Twin Stick control scheme: the left analogue stick will be used to steer, while the right stick will control drifts. This way, players will have a precise and satisfying tool to tackle the curves and stay at the front of the pack. In addition, the Boost will push each vehicle to the limit of its performance, while the strategic use of the Strike will allow you to eliminate opponents by hitting them at the right time. And when the Overdrive kicks in, chaos reigns supreme on the streets of Neo Rey.

Only by mastering the entire ECHO system will it be possible to emerge victorious. And just like in any real battle, the races in Screamer won't all be on the attack, as players will also have dedicated defense tools to protect themselves from opponents, with more details to be revealed soon.

Combining innovative vehicle handling, combat mechanics and a rich storyline, Screamer will offer an unconventional arcade experience that blends strategy and emotional intensity from the first to the last corner.
